Why We Like The Black Diamond Dirtbag Short
Whether we're sending bolted limestone or mantling sandstone boulders, we're in the Black Diamond Dirtbag Short. The tough build is both soft and stretchy for movement and resting comfort yet resists tearing and snagging against rock. Built with a low-profile elastic waist, this pair sits comfortably under our harness, and the internal drawcord lets us cinch in the fit while keeping the cord ends safely stored on the inside.

Comfy to Climb
Excellent shorts for climbing or hanging out. Material is very sturdy yet stretchy. The styling is very classic.

too tight to be a real dirtbag
Love the feel of the cords, super soft and nice stretchy waistband. My main complaint is the hips are too tight; I'm no wirey climber. . spend more time on my mtb (not in these shorts though!). 5'10", 165 and the med is a bit tight. I'd be swimming in a large so hoping these will stretch out.

Amazing
Simply the best shorts I’ve purchased in a long time. They are comfy and stretchy and feel high quality, and I really like the style. The color is a little more peach and a little bit less khaki than I expected but I still really like them!

Love these shorts!
Great fit. I like the drawstring to help support the waistband when you have stuff in your pockets. The Like the stretch in the material that moves with me.

The only problem I had
The only problem I had was that I like them too much. They are over priced as well.

nice feel and style but not great with a harness
Great fit and style and comfort. I really like to wide-wales. Really nice for bouldering, but the legs are too short for good fir under a harness.

Comfy
I love these shorts. Very comfortable and have a little stretch for climbing ease… I did have to take one star off because my pup ran past me with a stick, which tore a huge hole in relatively new shorts. I ordered new ones anyways just with lower expectations of their durability.

Well made and comfortable
Purchased the lite navy corduroy version and I am very pleased with the overall look, comfort and construction. The sizing was accurate. The shorts are perfect for wearing about town given their appearance.
